Harvey Milk Day Annual Event

Our Center chooses to celebrate Harvey Milk Day each year as he strived for the same purposes our organizations does.
He worked long and hard to build, strengthen and connect the community.

Every year, we offer a way for the community to get together and honor members of our community thru the Milk Made Awards. We honor members of our community who embody his spirit and dedication.

“Harvey Milk, was a visionary civil and human rights leader who became one of the first openly gay elected officials in the United States when he won a seat on the San Francisco Board of Supervisors in 1977. Milk’s unprecedented loud and unapologetic proclamation of his authenticity as an openly gay candidate for public office, and his subsequent election gave never before experienced hope to Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgendered (sic) (LGBT) people everywhere at a time when the community was encountering widespread hostility and discrimination. His remarkable career was tragically cut short when he was assassinated nearly a year after taking office.” -Harvey Milk Foundation.
